Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard via inhalation route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
DNEL (Derived No Effect Level)
Value:
1.47 mg/m³
Most sensitive endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity
Route of original study:
Oral
DNEL related information
DNEL derivation method:
ECHA REACH Guidance
Overall assessment factor (AF):
75
Modified dose descriptor starting point:
NOAEC
Value:
110.2 mg/m³
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
No long-term study on inhalation is available. Thus route-to-route extrapolation has been performed. No data are available that would indicate a specific concern for the inhalation route that would invalidate this approach.

Justification:
Difference in duration subacute to chronic
AF for interspecies differences (allometric scaling):

Justification:

Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:
No dermal long-term study is available. Thus route-to-route extrapolation has been performed. No data are available that would indicate a specific concern for the dermal route that would invalidate this approach.

Repeated dose toxicity/systemic effects:

The basis for deriving systemic long-term DNELs is a 28 day oral toxicity study in Wistar rats (Schladt, 1991).

Adverse effects were reported for body weight gain in the 625 mg/kg bw male dose group. In the 625 mg/kg bw dose group significant haematological effects were observed, and increased liver weights together with hypertrophy of hepatocytes were noted for both female and male rats.

The NOAEL is 125 mg/kg/d.

No data are available that would indicate a specific concern for the inhalation and dermal route. Thus, route-to-route extrapolation is justified. ECHA guidance values were used to account for possible differences in route-specific absorption rates (dermal = oral and inhalation = 200 % oral).

The test item is considered not to exhibit any sensitising properties according to a guideline-compliant study under GLP in guinea pigs (Diesing, 1991).

Acute toxicity/local effects:

According to ECHA guidance there is no established accepted methodology to derive no-effect-levels for acute toxicity. Under these prerequisites derivation of acute DNELs is considered not only to be cumbersome and resource-intensive but probably unnecessary, as the long-term DNEL is normally sufficient to safeguard against any acute effects. It is proposed that a DNEL for acute toxicity should be derived only if an acute toxicity hazard (leading to C&L) is identified and there is a potential for high peak exposures. However, the test item is not classified for acute toxicity based on LD50 > 2000 mg/kg for the oral and dermal route (Bomhard, 1990/1991).

Data on skin irritation/corrosion and eye irritation in vivo suggest a low hazard potential with regard to local effects (Märtins, 1991).

Overall, a low hazard potential is concluded for the test item.
